This is one of the most poisonous attitudes I have ever seen when it comes to tech content, and unfortunately it is really prevalent in the largest tech companies.

No wonder nearly all the documentation created by the tech giants is complete garbage and often out of date, with almost zero regard for people who actually read the documentation.

A natural consequence of documentation being a "good beginner task" in open source or being assigned to whoever cannot get out of it on the project team.
